Pickle
Lake
owes its beginnings to the discovery of gold in 1929 at Central
Patricia and at Pickle Crow along the
Crow
River
. Six years later, the town was booming with two mines in production
and quite a few other businesses started to flourish.
Even a soft drink bottling plant was established in the area
around 1940. Today,
both Central Patricia and Pickle Crow have disappeared but
Pickle
Lake
still thrives.
This
community holds the distinction of being the northernmost community
that is year round accessible by road. With
many thousands of kilometers of rivers and lakes waiting to be
explored,
Pickle
Lake
is “the last frontier”.
Pickle
Lake
offers the opportunity to view the boreal forest that has remained
untouched for centuries. Lakes
abound and so do the fish. The
walleye is the most sought after catch. Moose
hunting is also another attraction in an area where the hunter might
be the first person ever to wander in the region.
